I think the problem is that Cate Blanchett has too big an ego to be taught/learn anything, including how to act. But that's just my humble opinion.

I don't know enough to notice bad gunplay but anachronistic makeup/hair styling can bother me. Costumes I give some slack because it could be a budget issue.

Right… but then anger itself would require huge amounts of calories. You can’t just create energy.

Nazis dragging looted treasures all over the world but nobody could import a bunch of snakes for their snake pit?

“I’ll create a GUI interface using Visual Basic. See if I can track down the IP Address”

I was able to tolerate more of this in movies than I used to after acknowledging that tons of people in real life suck at communication.

Bet he loved how Dexter had 40 hours in a day

We got three of those people right here in this thread baby.

Aristotle in the house

Am I their dad? Do I have kids now?

My wife loves hocus pocus.

Every year I'm like... That zippo wouldn't light. The fluid would have evaporated ages ago. Look at the cobwebs, it's obviously been there for years.

She just reaches over, softly touches my and says 7u5k3n, it's a movie.

Lol

So yeah there's nothing wrong here.

Edit: softly touches my arm. Haha apparently I I accidentally'd a word

My personal favorite was in Batman and Robin where they cut open the city's water main and the water just keeps flowing along in a cylindrical shape... Come ON

I had this with Interstellar. The story is that most plants died and they can't grow food but corn. So they're at a baseball game and this older character says "Popcorn?! I'm sick of corn, I want a hotdog". He knows there aren't hotdogs anymore, he's just frustrated at the situation. Nobody responds.

That's the moment everyone should have jumped up to shut up grandpa. You can't say that! Billions died, you insensitive asshat. Be glad you have food. Eating meat would be socially unacceptable because you can't feed society that way anymore. It would be on the level of grandpa saying old-timey racist shit out loud in public

With scenes like that and the 'two characters typing on the same keyboard to hack faster' one, I'm 90% sure it's just the writers having fun and seeing what they can get away with. Long-running formulaic shows must be boring as hell to write for, so I can understand the impulse.

They bought their guns from the same dealer who sold Lara Croft her handguns in the original games.

lawyers would know the difference

It drives me nuts when anyone gets that wrong.

"But language evolves!!"

Oh yeah? Evolve yourself back into the fucking sea!

The books are quite keen on people getting infections iirc, but those characters probably didn't make it

Or when they have ten-minute discussions while holding guns at one another's face. It's not a talking stick. It's not for intimidation. A basic rule of gun defense is that if you draw, you fire.

I'd like to see a cop show that applies that level of writing to guns.

A: What can you tell me about the bullet you recovered from the victim?

B: It's a handgun round, caliber 9x19 inch, solid steel frangible hollow-point. Fired with a muzzle velocity of 100 joules, one of these can punch through an inch of hardened RHA like wet toilet paper.

A: 100 joules?! Jesus Christ, that's enough to kill someone!

B: Exactly. This is the kind of bullet only a professional would use. Thankfully the firing pin left an imprint on the bullet; if we can find the shop that sold the gun they can tell us who fired it.

A: Only one shop in LA carries weapons that powerful. Let's go.

That's a bad script supervisor. A script supervisor is responsible for scene continuity between takes. Guaranteed the shooting schedule had a dozen days of frequent high intensity filming and the script supervisor was tired from making sure really busy scenes lined up within the time allowed.

Yeah give me his number lol

Was gonna say this, fucking, yep.

Its this apparently baffling concept that even a fictional world has to be coherent and consistent within or as itself, otherwise, it seems cheesy or schlocky, obviously fake and contrived.

I dont understand, makes sense, what's the problem?

That's a subtle one. If a revolver fires 7 or 9, unforgivable. If it fires 20, they knew damn well what they were doing and it's a Machete Kills style comedy, we're back to acceptable.

sudo apt install hollywood

How do you feel about other words or phrases with multiple definitions, like "theory"?

If a scientist character uses the word in a scientific settings with the colloquial meaning, it would annoy me.

I absolutely love the Sherlock & Co. podcast, the conceit of which is that Watson is a podcaster who records the adventures of Sherlock and releases them as a podcast. He's apparently always recording everything, at every moment, on a little portable recorder that's small enough to pass essentially unnoticed in almost any situation--and yet there's been only one time that I can remember in which this recorder has failed, and it has never run out of battery power, including when the investigation unexpectedly took them to rural southeast India for several days in The Sign of Four.

I just want a movie where somebody "says turn on the TV", and the main character does, and it's just halfway through an episode of The Big Bang Theory or something because who's tuned to the news channel.

The gamma does turn him green. Maybe that's not just stylistic, maybe he's photosynthesizing.

Am I...

Am I a dad...?

Or how Doakes stalked Dexter through a shipping yard completely unseen, no footsteps no arrousing suspicion from employees, nuthin just "Surprise Muthafucka!"

I guess you could say

they didn't make the cut.

YEEEEEAAAAH

The moment anyone creates a Gui using Visual Basic, we're done.

That's Batman Begins

Softly touches your what? Please elaborate

Guns are absurd in almost all movies anyway. Zero reaction to firing in enclosed spaces, powering through a gunshot wound by using muscles that basically no longer exist because a bullet ripped through them, etc. And it's not even just action movies, it happens all the time.

The spinoff with John Goodman was good though.

His 'broomstick', and after she does that touching it begins to rise up... like magic!!!

I can accept three tiddies, but bad atmospheric pressure is where I draw the line!

Do any modern movies use revolvers? The only reason i can see for using a revolver is if the movie is set in the past or if there's a plot reason to be using an old gun like e.g. it was his grandfather's

Perhaps they had better things to do than watch paint dry.

Funny what can pull you back into reality and out of the temporary relief we get to enjoy when watching a movie. Some people are better at ignoring the absurd and out of place.

The cars fine even weigh enough to do that. They’d just break traction and spin the wheels lol.

This unironically looks pretty cool. It looks like an ESP8266 dev board at the top with a few DIP ICs below that

They are not only on the news channel, but they always switch on the TV just in time to get the exact information they needed to hear at that specific moment. All while not tuning in in the middle of a sentence, just perfect timing from start to finish.

When it's supposed to be a post-apocalyptic/survival genre but everyone looks clean-cut, shaven, and recently showered with a day-old haircut 🙄

No that’s realistic lol. Nobody would have said shit other than to agree, because after all of that everyone would want a hot dog.

Humans in general don’t deal with mass change that well. Look at Covid.

They’d bitch at the government, bitch at their neighbors, and find a nationalized group to blame for why the way of life changed.

It wasn’t that long of a time period in interstellar. The whole collapse happened over about 30 years. So anyone over around 40 would have remembered a normal time and would agree with grandpa. They’d have seen their lives get worse and worse and desperately want to go back to the old life.

I rarely do that, but i did once with 28 Weeks Later where the army when they found out someone is infected inside the colony, just made everyone come out of their own room that is safe and isolated, and wait inside a huge room, which inevitably caused everyone to just get nibbled and infected. They also ordered personel to station at the place where they're unprotected from sprinter, and inevitably got nibbled and turned. I just give up. The series never recovered after that from what i've heard.

Sunlight only contains so much energy. Even if he's managing to metabolise every bit with no loss, there's not nearly enough light hitting him at any one moment for that to really make sense. If he's always photosynthesising and his body storing it for later somehow... he'd put on a huge amount of weight in his non-Hulk form.
